ok - what time is it now? (posted at 23:20)

No one likes a poor loser:lol::lol:

Got mine too - really nice job Steve. All you other chaps and chapesses should really join gold now!!

Alex How did yours come to be white - did you remove the yellow shells or have the whole assemblies been replaced. I quite like the white ones actually - I'd possibly be willing to swap with you - whereabouts are you? Standard fog bulbs in the GS are HB4 (9006) - same as the low beam bulbs. You might be able to find yellow paint for them, if you can find something that wil withstand he heat - I'm not sure if painting halogen bulbs will kill them though.

Thanks Chris - very helpful stuff. Cheers Rod

Welcome to TL!! I think you're going to be very lucky to get one of these - it's a glass shell and you have to destroy it to remove it - I'd be suprised if anyone has a whole one. You might want to consider tinted bulbs?

Thanks again for your views Chris - you obviously know a lot about this stuff. I'm assuming that the spekers will be changed for ones of the same impedance, but bigger diameter - if that's the case, surely the amp will not have any problems? On my GS300-2, I've actually looked at the speakers, and they do seem to be 4inch. They're mounted in pods and there seems to be plently of room in there if the pods are removed - I think I've read that you can get 6inch speakers in there. There is a Nakamichi upgrade for the GS3 - perhaps the demo you saw had that fitted, with bigger speakers?? Are you absolutely sure that stock speakers on the stock Pioneer amp on a GS3-2 are 2ohm??? - if that's true - then I agree there may be a problem? The reason I want to upgrade is that the 4inch speakers sound faily flat and distort at high volumes. I'm looking for a fuller, brighter sound, which I'm hoping I'm going to get from 6inch cones. Cheers mate Rod

Euewwww - nasty! Maybe you should give her you IS and go buy yourself a new one!!

Thanks Zee and thanks for the U2U. In the end, I found a specialist ICE place in Milton Keynes - the chap there obvioulsy knows a HUGE amount about this stuff. He's gonna take my car in next Wednesday and fit the biggest/best speakers that he can. He's recommending MB Quartz component speakers/tweeters in the front and Kicker duals in the back doors. I might replace the subby too - we'll decide on the day. Cheers again for your help mate. Rod

Thanks Chris - speaker upgrades seem to have been done quite often of GS300s though, without changing the head unit or amp. Surely is you replace the speakers that are there with bigger ones of the same impedance, there won't be a problem? Standard speakers are only 4inch - that's why they sound so dull - apparently there's room for 5inch or 6inch speakers in the doors if you replace the pods. What do you think?

so what happens if the server runs out of disk space before anyone wins?:D

:DMust be true love then!!:D

Some of us have autos - means we don't have to keep grabbing our knobs to make our cars go faster:lol:

OK - thanks Mark!!

WOW - that really is true love - or maybe she's just bigger than you!!!:lol:

Tony - I don't think that's true about the UK CD - mine is spring/summer 2001 - and I know there's a later version out now.

I was in MK todoay - found a shop selling off their stock of MStations for £199 - they've got 4 left I think. U2U me if anyone wants more details.

I know what you mean. My wife occaisionally drives mine - scares the hell outta me!!

Thanks for the offer Dave - that's very kind of you. Sadly, mine's a CD-based system. I know that I can borrow one from LUK - but it'll be an old one. Cheers Rod

bump.....

I have 3 kids (aged 5, 3 and 1) - they all fit in the back no problem (apart from the noise that is!!)

Mine are on!!

Thanks Zee:tumble:

Nice one Andy - I hope you have fun with it!:tumble:

Hi, and welcome to the Club. I'm sure you'll love the car!!!!
